"realloc: Out of memory" Tells us what failed, but not where; and we could probably figure that out from strace data. if (!cmdtab) perror("add_command"); "add_command: Out of memory" is better at implying that the triager should look for a function named add_command and start there. You could even go as far as: if (!cmdtab) perror(_("adding libxcmd command")); "adding libxcmd command: Out of memory" which gives us a nice long string to grep. --D > + exit(1); > + } > cmdtab[ncmds - 1] = *ci; > qsort(cmdtab, ncmds, sizeof(*cmdtab), compare); > } > -- > 2.18.0.windows.1 >

The result check was missed and It cause the coredump like: 0x00005589f3e358dd in add_command (ci=0x5589f3e3f020 <health_cmd>) at command.c:37 0x00005589f3e337d8 in init_commands () at init.c:37 init (argc=<optimized out>, argv=0x7ffecfb0cd28) at init.c:102 0x00005589f3e33399 in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at init.c:112 Add check for realloc function to ignore this coredump and exit with error output Signed-off-by: Weifeng Su <suweifeng1@huawei.com> --- libxcmd/command.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+)
